Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2009 Siblings Shiraz has aromas of warm plums, mulberries and blueberry compote with underlying hints of allspice and white pepper. Medium-bodied with a good concentration of ripe, ready-to-drink blackberry and spice flavors, it is nicely textured with a medium level of rounded tannins and has lively acid to give lift through the long finish. Drink it now to 2015. Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com
